Byrons Contingency Program... Does it work?

Byrons is good fuel. It is one of my top choices for sure. After reading the Contingency Award rules, the first thing that comes to mind is that the average racer has a very slim chance of benefiting from it? It says -
Qualifying Categories:
(Contingencies paid in top category of each class, ie Expert 1/8 Buggy):
This tells me that only the top tier of racers will more than likely benefit. The qualifying races, are pretty stacked races. At least here in West. At any of these races, you will have the top drivers in that Top Category (Pro Buggy,Pro Truggy, etc.) Most of those drivers are either already running Byrons, or are sponsored by other fuel mfgs. and cannot run other brands anyways? Seems like kind of a strange program, IF I am reading it correctly?
I am an analyst by trade, so maybe I am reading too much between the lines here........
In any case, this does not take anything away from the quality of the fuel. I personally think it is great, and do run it from time to time, based on availability.
I dont know.... Just MY .02. Maybe someone else can go to their website and confirm my reading of the rules.

I have no sponsors and I run Byron's and on the most part I'm an average driver and I got contingence money from Byron's in 2009 for making the Amain at crcrc midwest gas champs.

i am seeing what i can do about the "helping the little guy" issue
i do believe in getting rewarded for your efforts but there are a lot of racers out there who expect things and get pissed if they dont get what they think they should (in their minds) get .
stay in touch with byrons , the fuel is as i have always said , a great fuel and excellent for engine longevity
